Getting started will take twice as long as the data
collection
The amount of relevant data available will be one-tenth
of your estimate
Completion of the dissertation will take twice as
long as your last estimate and three times as long as your first estimate
A dissertation will change twice in the middle
The help provided by people other than yourself, the
coordinator of this unit, and, in time, your supervisor has a half-life of two weeks
The effort of writing-up is an exponential function
of the time since the data were collected, i.e. do not dilly-dally!
At the finish you will have regrets
